I wanted to give a quilt to the only friend I have left from my high school days. So I asked her what she wanted. "Something Asian" Well, that didn't tell me much so I was pretty much on my own on this one.

I'd take this one too... ;D

My mother was upset that I was giving it away.

Good heavens, you're good at this! Absolutely beautiful quilt. I bet she'll love it!

Thanks.

I just finished reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and he talks about how it takes 10,000 hours of doing something to become an expert. Well, I think the only thing I've done in my life for 10,000, besides the normal eat, drink, and sleep, is sewing. And it still tickles me when my projects come out this good.

That is simply stunning, FR - I don't know how you could have given it away, I'd have kept it forever!

Thanks.
